Sunday phantasms
The flow of simple things
White gypsy skirts
embroidery and white-work
Silver circles from Rajasthan
artisanal huaraches walking slowly
The long green scarf as shawl
Sea ebbing in as we circumnavigate it
Persian poets painted on the wall
One lone hand beside it painted white
Deep purple açai spread with nuts and strawberries
Then we flee to the ramshackle bookshop
bent with character like the crooked path
poetry books stacked up in disarray as it pleases me
the captains verses in my hand
rambunctious sunday, delighting in you and all these finds
We still make the wild and passionate pair, no matter how god grieves us.
